<br />at different times as the water arrived at the successive plants, This
<br />method involved a very large number of starts and stops for the
<br />pumps, which was considered detrimental to the equipment and
<br />it seriously interfered with the delivery of power to Phoenix,
<br />The operating schedule adopted for the immediate future is to
<br />pump continuously at all plants for a sufficient number of days
<br />each month to deliver the required quantity of water and let the
<br />pumps stand idle the remainder of the time,
<br />The organization required by this program includes 63 men on
<br />operation and maintenance of the pumping plants, 12 men on the
<br />maintenance and patrol of the transmission line, and 3 employees
<br />at the La Verne telephone exchange, This force provides for con-
<br />tinuous attendance at all plants with one-man shifts, continuous
<br />dispatching and telephone service, patrol of transmission and tele-
<br />phone lines, and maintenance of all equipment in plants, lines and
<br />camps, Messes and dormitories are operated at Cene and Iron
<br />Mountain camps, The field supervisory force consists of a field
<br />superintendent and one clerk. A special agent is located at Gene
<br />camp and a first-aid nurse at Iron Mountain,
<br />The following tabulation shows, for the fiscal year July I, 1940
<br />to June 30, 1941, the pump-hours of operation, the energy trans-
<br />mitted from Boulder over District transmission lines and used
<br />for pumping and camp services or delivered to others, and the
<br />acre feet of water pumped,

<br />A general inspection and overhaul of equipment at the pumping
<br />plants was undertaken in December 1940, The pumps were found
<br />to be in excellent condition with very little evidence of cavitation,
